I'm mentioning this because of some complaints about some USB drives that don't like Linux. BestBuy and I imagine some other stores have several of the Seagate FreeAgent Pro external drives on sale. I picked up the 500G drive today setup with a SATA and USB connection. It also has a 5-yr. warranty. I don't have an external SATA connection on this HP box, so am looking for a recommendation for a PCI SATA card that likes 10.3 that I can add that will give me the external port.
Anyway, I picked up the drive for $154. It formatted with ext3 with no problems and is seen when it's connected to any of the USB ports.

I used a Silicon Images Sil 3112 on my OpenSuse 10.2 box without any problems. It comes with Linux drivers. Cost me $20 here in Nanaimo. -- Bob Smits Ph 250-245-2553 Fax 250-245-5531 E-mail bob@rsmits.ca -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
